Women in Society.

While great progress has been made in
late years in advancing the intellectual
condition of women, there is still long
road of progress for her to travel before
she reaches that position to which Justice
and humanity entitle her. When we con,
slider the Christening and elevating inHu.
ence which woman may have upon man,
it is said. indeed. to see wide gulf sepa-
rating the two. The gulf is contrary to
nature, to reason, the best interest of pub
lie morals and the highest hopes of the
race. So long as the two sexes have
nothing in common, and live in spheres
of thought and soil utterly apart and dis
tinct. just so long will it be impossible
for either sex to derive that benefit from
that they should. So long as young
women are taught from earliest childhood
to regard great show in the flesh as the
chief end of their sex. there will be no
common ground for sympathy and
cougcniality between them and young
men who, by sheer reason of their occu-
patton and opportunities, become more or
less posted in politics. literature, com
merce and current news. The present
wall of partition which separates the
sexes in the'matter of education, CONVEX
sation and all intellectual interests should
be immediately and totally abolished.
We are out OF all patience with the
miserable, watery twadde that man
feels himself obliged to utter when he APP
proaches woman for the purpose of con-
versation. In the first place, let it be
known and read of all men that al women
are not the silly sheep that some of them
are; and in the second place let it be the
Object of the age to furnish woman with
every opportunity and advantage now en-.
joyed by man for selt-improvement, in
tellectual distinction and familiarity with
any and every branch of knowledge in
terestng to the human mind. The devel-
opment of woman is impossible while
her husband, brother, father aud uncle
are banded together for mutual improve
ment and instructive conversation, and
deny her admittance to their circle and
interest in their thoughts and plans. The
elevation OF woman to companionship and
equality with man is absolutely essential
to the cause of human progress. Woman
may learn of man what she may not learn
elsewhere. and man may obtain from
woman the knowledge which would other
wise be beyond his reach. Either is nee.
essary to the tull development of the
Other, but without the other, either is an
unfinished and unbalanced human being

Wise Words About Women.

A happy marriage is a new beginning
OF life, new starring point for happiness
and useiulness.-Dean Stanley.
No man ever lived a right life who had
not been chastened by a woman's love,
strengthened by her courage, and guided
by her Observation-Disclosures.
Man has subdued the world. but woman
has subdued man. Mind and muscle have
won his victories; love and loneliness
have gained hers.-Gan Hamilton.
If. in inssructing child. you are vexed
with it for q want of adroitness, try, if
you have never tried before, to write with
your left hand, and then remember that
a child is all left hand.-J. F. Bayles.
When young woman behaves to her
parents in manner particularly tender
and respectful-I mean from principle as
well Is nature-there is nothing good and
gentle that may not be expected from her
in whatever condition she is placed

The Montana Central.

The Montana Central contracts between
Helena and Butte are progressing most
favorably. Progress on the big tunnel
does not vary much from previous reports.
The surveying party has finished the lay
ing out of the over head line and is COM
pleting the maps and profles. The for
nation through which the tunnel is being
driven is becoming very hard and it is
probable that the overhead line will be
constructed in the spring so as not to in
terfere with the running of trains into
Butte blythe 1st of May.
The Woodville tunnel is making good
progress though the formation is very
hard. Day and night forces are at work,
and the total number of feet excavated SO
far is 254. On this side the tunnel is in
1T5 feet and on the other II. The pro-
gress made is about five feet day.
Mclean and Janse are doing their work
with an idea of having it finished by the
time the snow flies. There is still some
heavy work for them to do out beyond
Yankee Doodle guile. Butte lNiaer.

The Pioneer Bishop.

Bishop Gilbert is still resting from his
labors in Montana. The bishops brother
has ranch out there, and on Montana
ranch the bishop is as much at home as
within the chancel rails Of church. In
the early days of his ministry he was a
missionary in the territory, and many long
rides in the saddle he has taken over the
plains, going from mission station to mis-
sion station, preaching the Word and COM
forting the sick. He was at Helena when
Helena was not much more than rude
settlement, and thus he became acquaint-
ed with frontier life in its widest form,
for his work was among cowboys, gamb-
1ers miners and tough characters of every
sort. His experiences with these people
would form an entertaining chapter.
Bishop Gilbert worked, i'll those days, un-
der the direction of the famous Bishop
Tuttle, of whose nerve and physical Prov
ess SO many interesting anneedotes are re-
lated; and, doubtless, Bishop Gilbert could
give an interesting pointer or two relating
to the elder bishops adventures if he
choose.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

The River Traffic.

FoRr BENTON. August 3I.-The Mis-
souri, again reached the leyee Sunday
evening at $50 o'clock, bringing from
Rocky Point IS tons of Benton freight
which had been left there by the larger
boats. This clears up all the river freight
to date except what is now en- route on the
steamer Rosebud out from Bismarck on
the 23d. The Missouri returns to Rocky
Point where she will meet the Rosebud,
which will turn back from that place,
transferring her cargo to the Missouri for
delivery at Benton.
TheBentonT Transportation Company pro-
poses to keep bringing freight to Benton
as long as there is any at Bismarck to
send forward, and will keep its light
draught steamers plying on the upper
Missouri until the ice drives them out.
The working force of the United
States river engineers have about finished
dredging through the Shonkin bar, and
are now moving down to the Cracon -du-
Nez.

known as slough" in Montana. Winship
is shot in the breast, about three inches
above and to the right of the heart. The
physician, after examining the wound, is
of the opinion that it will not prove fatal.
He failed to find the bullet, however, and
the result cannot yet be told. Both men
are horse men. Staples is the owner OF
Zig, and Winship of Butterscotch. Zig
was the favorite in the 2:24 race to-day,
and was distanced after winning one heat.
The quarrel is supposed to have originat-
ed from pooi-box transactions, in which
they were associates. Staples was arrested
about ten minutes after the shooting and
lodged in jail. He is the son of Isaac
Staples, the Saltwater millionaire, and it
is stated that only some two years ago it
cost his relatives 5000 to get him out of
a scrape in Montana. Staples refused to
talk about the matter, saying that his VIC
tim could be relied upon to give an ex-
PLANTATION. Mr.. Winship says he can as
sign no cause for the shooting. One of
the Staples trotters was badly beaten in
the races to-day, and it is intimated that
he accused Winship of being the cause of
it. Staples was more or less intoxicated
when he committed the deed. 1t is said
that he was at one time an inmate of
lunatlc asylum.

FALLS MONTANA TERRITORY SATURDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER 1887

This is All new wealth and will add pro-
haslt $2Go0sN0 10 the assessment roll In
this portion of the territory. Besides this
the completion of the railroad will bring
people and the settlement and develop
lnent OF the new county and the old ones
in this section will be rapid. Then we
were in the midst of the unprecedentedly
severe winter of 18s6-87 and the hue and
cry about stock losses had telling effect;
now we know what the losses were and
that they are largely overballanced by
the new wealth that has been added,
while the development of the resources
of this section is certain to be rapid in the
future. Then Great Falls had a popula-
ton of only 500 or 900 while now it has
reached 1900 or more.
These differing conditions constitute a
sufficient warrant for offering the meas
ure again to the consideration OF the fif-
teenth general assembly and asking for it
favorable consideration. Being remote
from railroads our progress heretofore
has been necessarily slow, but from this
time forward no portion of Montana will
make more rapid strides. There is now
ample wealth within the boundaries OF
the new county to warrant its creation
and the old counties would not be in the
least crippled by such action. Such being
unquestiolably the fact it would be rank
injustice to Great Falls-now the leading
town of northern Montana-and the sur
rounding country, to deny their urgent de-
mand for new county.

The Conditions Different.

Our Fort Benton contemporary, the
Rioer Press, in opposing the bill for the
creation Of Cascade county, seeks TO make
capital out of the fact that the same bill,
or one almost identical, was defeated at
the regular session last winter. It is hard
" necessary TO point out the fact that the
conditions then and now are entirely diff
ferent and that the reasons urged at that
time against division do not obtain at the
present Then there was not mile OF
railroad in northern Montana and many
believed there would not be for years, as
the Manitoba western extension had only
reached Minot, 800 miles from Great
Falls; now the railroad extends throngh
the entire length Of northern Montana
and 200 miles Of the track will be in
Choteau county and over 100 in Cascade.

COMMERCIAL.
GREAT FAILS. Septem'

GREAT FALLS, September 1.
Business men look for busy fall ana
are receiving large stocks of goods in ex-
pectation thereof. Some heavy orders
have been given for delivery as soon as
the railroad is open for traffic. In some
lines merchants complain of the present
high rates for freight and are disposed to
keep their stock at the lowest limit until
the opening of the railroad ensures cheap
transportation and quick delivery. The
Great Falls stores are, however, in good
trim for the fall trade and display large
assortments of the best goods. These are
sold at reasonable prices. Com petition
in the grocery line is brisk and prices are
not likely to rise during theefall.
Navigation is coming to clese on the
upper Missouri. The Benton Transports
ton Company will, however, continue to
carry all the river freight that offers and
have fixed no time for the close of nayi-
cation.
Bankers report money as stringent in
owing to the funds required in moving

San Francisco has also served to make
| money scarce there.
The state of the cattle market is pecu-
liar. There is great activity at Chicago
! with low prices. Producers complain
that there is no profit The receipts at
the Chicago stock-yards have caused
glut, over 100000 head of cattle having
thrust on the market in 80 days. The re-
| ceipts have been as high as 1850 head in
a single day, the largest known. Amid
all this there is talk of beef famine in
| the near future. 1t is asserted that the
dressed beef monopoly makes profit of
| SO on every bullock, thus fieecing both
producer and consumer. The stock-yards
at this city will enable cattlemen to ship
their stock direct to St. Paul, Minneapolis
and Chicago, thereby saving money in
| freight and other expenses.
/ AS regards wool, Chicago reports state
that territory wools hold their own better
than any others. They have not fluctuat-
ed id month more than one or two cents
| while fleece woods have fluctuated three
or four cents per pound. In Billings re-
Gently II, 900 pounds were sold at 20 cents
per pound. The Missouri will take down
from Benton 205 sacks of wool for Bower
Bres. of Stanford and % sacks for Smiley
s. Leach of Dupuyer. This will close the
wool shipments from Benton for the
season

ST. CLOUD, August 26.-Never sinceth

that the Manitoba railroad company had
positively decided to locate thsir princi-
pal shops just west of the city limits, the
establishment of large cattle yards, etc.
The shops will employ 2,00e persons.
which means an increase in st. Clouds
population Of at least 5000 people within
9 short time. The announcement of st.
Clouds great bonanza was received By
business men and the people generally
with great enthusiasm. Everywhere on
street corners groups of five or six were
discussing the coming establishments.
Ever since the rise in real estate on the
western city limits some such develop
ment was expected These statements are
made from the highest officials of the
Manitoba road and are received with the
utmost confidence. One of them, In con-
yersation with a citizen, said that zone
million dollars will not cover what We
will spend in st. Cloud within year, st.
Clouds prospects were never brighter,
and city of 20 900 inhabitants inside of
